Following your Podium ‘Change? Yes we can’, my thoughts within the NHS are for palliative care patients who wish to die at home. These patients need to have rapid access services to aid their discharge home. If we cannot do more for them medically or surgically, we can at least deliver their last wishes of dying at home rather than delaying discharge sometimes without real reason. Change is efficient social services so acute services are not mismanaged.
